To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Josnrii A. Gnoiieni, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improiements in Decorated Fabric, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates `to improvements in fabrics decorated with piping andthe present case is a division of my application iiled on the 17th day of December, 1908, and serially numbered 467,947, to which cross reference is made.

lleretofore in decorating or oriianienting f fabric with what is commonly called piping,

it has been customary to make u` the piping by sewing the edges of a strip o piping material together on the `Wrong side and then turning the same right side out, at the same time placing therein a filler, Where one is desired. The pi ing thus madeis afterward sewn on a abric by a separate stitching, thereby attaching `a raised decoration to the fabric which is applied to form either straight lines or any desired ligure. In thus decorating a fabric with piping there is a double handling, once when the piping is made and again when it is sewn to the fabric. Furthermore it is impossible for the o erator to apply the piping to the fabric regular and even, With the seam of the piping straight and at the point where the piping contacts with the fabric. My object is to overcome these diilicultiesby sewing the piping material to the fabric by blind stitches which themselves. form the piping, thus producing a more regular, better appearing fab rie at a single operation. `ln making the same the piping may or may net have a filling therein, as desired and the piping may be formed on the fabric in any desired design or in straight lilies. By blind stitches as herein mentioned l mean stitches which pass through the article in such a Way as to leave `the top `ot' the piping free, so that theA stitchin will be blind, or concealed on` the right side of 4the finished article.

In the drawings forming a part of this fabric at e, then throughthepiping at g, i

through the same again atp/i, and againatii; the thread `then t asses back through `the tight, the piping will be drawn down, swinging the loop as shown` inlfigs. 2 andti Where it will remain.

lit will be notedthat the piping is free and loose, the same as heretofore, `While thepip 'ing is regular `and even and the `whole l is .ulil fabric a, atf. l hen the .threadisdrawii made at a single operation, thus reducing thecost of manufacture and making a 'far superiorfabric. lhe use of `blind stitching prevents the stitchino` from showing cnth'e right side of the fabric, `which is necessary iiiV orderv to produce the same effect as ,When the piping is made separate and sewn `on "byV Having described my invention what l hand.

l. ln an article of the class described,a 'base fabric and a piping material formed into a looped pi ving and :iig-zagstitehes passing throught e base fabric, through one side of the, piping ,inatei'iah thencereturning through the other side of` the Cpipingin'a terial and through ,the base fabric, the tap .of the piping being free and adapted to on- .ceal the said stitches en theouter `or right side of the finished article.

2. lin an article `ef the elassmdesci'ibed,a basefabric and a` piping material formed into a; looped piping `with, its, edges d? in` turned` and zigzag stitches passing through titi 4the base fabric, through the piping man the inurned edges thereof, out again kthrough the piping maverial and back through the base fabric, 'the iop of the piping. 5 beimr free and adapted to concea the sa stitc les on the outer or right side cf @fue nished article.
